as to the comment i made about the most dangerous foreign policy decision since vietnam was about not just the surge but the overall war of choice going into iraq. that particular decision that was made on the surge, but more to the point our war in iraq, i think was the most fundamentally bad, dangerous decision since vietnam. aside from the costs that o occurred in this country to blood and treasure, aside what that did to take our focus off of afghanistan, which, in fact, was the original and real focus of the national threat to this country, iraq was not, i always try to frame all the different issues before i made a decision on anything. now just as you said, senator, we can have differences of opinion, but that's essentially why i took the position i did. >> it's a fundamental difference of opinion, senator hagel, and senator graham and i and senator lieberman when there were 59 votes in the united states senate spent our time trying to prevent that 60th. thank god for senator lieberman. i think history has already made a judgment about the surge, sir, and you're on the wrong si

policy, the secretary of state executes the foreign policy. influences his foreign policy, at the end of the day, i think you saw hillary clinton as somebody who did what he wanted her to do as secretary of state and was a effective player nor t player for him in the world. what does it say about 2016, joe biden is clearly positioning himself for 2016, president obama will have a hard call to make if it's joe biden versus hillary clinton at somebody in 2016, he may stay out of it. he probably wanted to just say thank you. >> i want to play a clip for you, it struck all of us and so i want to share it with both of you. this is 15 years ago, this weekend. take a look and listen. >> but i want to say one thing to the american people, i want you to listen to me, i'm going to say this again. i did not have sexual relations with that woman, ms. lewinsky, i never told anybody to lie. not a single time. never. these allegations are false and i need to go back to work for the american people. thank you.
